well written and continues to be an ongoing problem with science when things get politicized and/or well financed by agenda seeking entities.   Models are the new scam as these can be tweaked to show whatever bias people want to show.  Scientific method has truly been corrupted by politicians and corporations alike.  Be careful what you hang your hat on, as the writers bias is always present and not always accounted for.  Thanks for your writings.  

Hello Prof,
You have an extraordinary skill at taking complex matters and making them interesting and readable. I have listened to your audio book "Real Food On Trial" a couple of times while walking, it is the perfect David and Goliath tale for today. That trial highlighted and exposed to the world all your valuable knowledge, your ethics and integrity and why you articulate the truth without being influenced or by having another agenda. At the same time, it clearly demonstrated the lack of those qualities in all of those who forced you to trial. 
Your book, should become a text book for anyone studying ethics or medicine and be absolute required reading if you are studying nutrition or want to become a dietician. However, I know that vested interests would make that impossible, but I believe a few who are smart enough, will choose to read outside their curriculum.
All that to simply say, extraordinary work, you systematically exposed Ancel Keys and his unproven hypothesis while causing John Yudkin to smile all over in his grave. I wholeheartedly agree with you that the only person to look after me, is, a well read and self educated me. 
Apart from you, my other wonderful teachers include, Nina Teicholz, Zoe Harcombe, Robert Lustig, Gary Taubes, John Yudkin, David Gillespie, to name a few, I think you get the picture. 
I am so grateful that I can soak up your combined knowledge and keep my own health on track. It has been over 4 years now, since I dropped from 103kg (obese) to 81kg (normal). Also, I have kept it off, by taking my daily MEDS (Meat Eggs Dairy Seafood) with some fruit and veg.
A simple rule is, if it has a label, comes in a cardboard box, jar, tin, or fancy packet with pictures on it, then eating it will make me fat, attack my immune system and expose me to any little WuFlu that might be lurking around.
This, I have learnt from all my teachers, and also that there is already a vaccine: it is called "Real Food".
Thank you Tim, stay focussed, you are a Global Treasure.
With great respect!
Paul
 


   

The big scam documented in brilliant detail - with the outlook of more to come. Similar to the previous comments, I applaud your effort on putting this together. I hope the attention to this does not suffer in the current COVID-noise and am looking forward the upcoming columns.

Thank you!

Doug and Eric are hilarious. Weird having to keep social distance but it was such a great seminar at Ute CrossFit in SLC. 

I thought this letter (on behalf of an art gallery in California) makes a perfect argument for why CrossFit affiliates should be allowed to open anywhere and everywhere. 

More than any other type of gym, CrossFit "boxes" are uniquely competent to handle social distancing constraints.

Very well done. I've been aware of this for a long time. What escapes me is that if I kill someone I am punished. Hitler and Stalin and Mao are considered mass murderers for killing millions of people, yet here we have a conspiracy of scientific, drug maker, medical and corporate despots who are directly responsible for the deaths of BILLIONS of people and an obesity and type 2 diabetes pandemic that will dwarf this recent so called pandemic and absolutely NOTHING happens to them. How can this be? How is it they are never held accountable ? Personally I think they should be brought before the Hauge and tried for crimes against humanity 

This is an incredible read, thank you for all your hard work putting this together. 

Truly inspiring, thank you Ellen for inspiring others to make such an important decision for themselves and have the determination to follow through.

I love her story.  Because she shared it, maybe one more person will take the giant leap to help themselves.  Go, Ellen.

Incredible effort to put this together. Well done! It's a useful resource for anyone wanting a comprehensive primer on how Ancel Keys deluded the medical community. Most striking to me is the buried studies (MCE, SDHS) that were later recovered. Somehow, these big money studies either failed to be published or landed in obscure journals (pre-internet and therefore much harder to find). This is really a smoking gun to me that there was an organized attempt to keep the truth away from the public.

My favorite entry in your list has to be the 1984 National Consensus Development Meeting. They couldn’t have picked a more appropriate year. Is “consensus science” a dirty word outside of CrossFit and the medical skeptics community? Maybe it has been replaced with terms like “standard of care” or “evidence-based”, but it seems to be alive and well.

In your 1993 entry, I like your choice of words that Walter Willett “invented” the Mediterranean Diet. He didn’t discover it. He invented it by tossing together his own personal biases and coating them in a drizzle of olive oil.

Fantastic L2 class in OKC with Steve and Natosha

Macro view template analysis

Workout Structure: 

First day was followed “For Time” template. This exercise was a couplet element that is combined of a high skill gymnastic movement and one explosive power movement. The main purpose in this WOD was to implement new skills in the form of the high-intensity exercise. Muscular endurance played a
major role in this WOD. Moreover, the aerobic system was dominant energy pathway in this program. However, the lactic acid system was the dominant energy pathway in the rope climbs.

Second day was followed “For Time” template. This exercise was a single modality that include of high volume rowing from metabolic conditioning form. The main purpose in this WOD was on improving the cardiorespiratory endurance. Moreover, the aerobic system was dominant energy pathway in this program.

Third day was followed “AMRAP” template. This exercise used of high skill gymnastic movements. Muscular endurance, strength, flexibility and balance played a major role in this WOD. Moreover, the aerobic system was dominant energy pathway in this program.

Conclusion
As can be seen, 2 energy pathways (aerobic and lactic acid) were challenged in this cycle. Moreover, the muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory, muscular endurance, strength, flexibility and balance played a major role in this circle of programming. Also, power is latent in the nature of these programs.
As a final note, “For Time” and “AMRAP” templates were used for programming in this cycle.

Enjoy your rest day and recover your physical and mental dimensions

You can see it on her face. She's giving it everything she's got. And the results follow. 140 lbs lost and diabetes under control is an outcome that this exceptional, but also reproducible. If only more people tried CrossFit and gave it the effort Ellen does!

That is a good looking Level 1 SLC class! Thanks Doug and Eric for being awesome!!
